Putting this into practice in the United States

Set up records for the authority that regulates your US establishment. The FDA Food Code is a model used by state and local jurisdictions, with different editions and amendments in force. Choose the site's state, review the local requirements, and connect person-in-charge reviews to the actual food processes.

FDA: Food Code and jurisdiction adoption
  1. Use the local authority's notification and corrective-action arrangements where applicable. Recording an incident in ProCafe does not contact the health department or approve reopening.
  2. Preserve the original observation and supporting supplier or equipment records. Record the disposition of affected food separately from the repair or successful recheck.

What it does

Log at the door
Record the refusal in the ProCafe app for iPhone and Android as it happens, even with no signal at the back door.
Reason and supplier recorded
What arrived, from whom, and why it was refused — damaged packaging, temperature, quality — captured while the van is still outside.
Close the loop
Keep the refusal open until the supplier has made it right, then close it with the outcome.
Part of the trail
Refusals sit alongside your deliveries and batches, so the paper trail from the back door is complete.

How it works

  1. Refuse and record

    Log the supplier, the item and the reason on the spot.

  2. Follow up

    Chase the credit or replacement with the record to hand.

  3. Close with the outcome

    Mark it resolved — the history stays with your records.

The back door, on the record

Refused goods are exactly what an inspector asks about — every refusal is time-stamped and filterable next to your intake records.

  • Time-stamped refusals per site
  • Offline capture on iPhone and Android
  • Sits alongside deliveries and batches

One place to run food safety and operations.
